On her daily radio bulletin today, Mission America’s Linda Harvey argued that “homosexuality is ripping apart people’s lives and families” and must be challenged in the same way people like William Wilberforce and other abolitionists fought against slavery.
Linda Harvey
Harvey warns that too many churches are avoiding topics like homosexuality and urges them to hear stories about “the destructive effects of homosexual behavior.”

Many of us watch in dismay as younger and younger children are told that homosexuality is a right for some people.
Our church youth groups are busy with paintball and trips to amusement parks but doing relatively little to equip our children to apply the word of God to this current debate. How corrupted do children have to get before adults will cry out and say: no more. I hear people saying, ‘well we don’t want to get into politics.’ Strangely that objection is only raised when the subject is abortion or homosexuality, yet there is nothing wrong with Christians and even churches getting involved in a political issue, people of conviction do it all the time.
Hundreds of the more liberal churches are very outspoken about how to use government dollars for entitlement programs, for instance. Abolishing slavery, wasn’t that politics? Didn’t Christians like William Wilberforce rise up and fight in the political realm two centuries ago to do what was right? They were called extremists then too. But actually no, this is not only about politics.
Homosexuality is ripping apart people’s lives and families. I can’t tell you how many sad tales I’ve heard from people who’ve seen the destructive effects of homosexual behavior in the life of a son, a daughter, a brother or a sister. The first battleground of ideas is one’s own mind. We need to equip our kids to stand firm in their convictions and know how to defend them.

WHAT? Fight homosexuality? Fight the hatred that caused slavery and that is so present today toward gays!
sick person.
Stupid cunts
Dear Mrs. Harvey,
Fuck You!
Crazy ass criminals. All they do is hate, when pretending to teach love.
Whose life has actually been ripped apart by a sexual orentation. wtf. If any it was the homophobic society that did hatm, not the homosexuality itself. Sorry my bad english today.
Hahaha like that will make a difference, bitches be crazeeeeh!
But the church isn’t against slavery.
Fuck you and thank you!
#FAIL
The Church(es) fought against outlawing slavery. The Bible clearly states that slavery is okay.
says the ultimate slave master there.. with all their brainless zombie slaves. worthless bitch may you rot in the hell you create
sounds like someone overdid it on the sacramental wine
Slavery was being fought over for equal rights to make people stop “buying and working” other people. Homosexuality is a personal lifestyle and everyone gay or not should be treated the same. Equal rights and freedom of expression means being able to be you.
In the spirit of arguing the “devil’s advocate” she’s got a right to her opinion, no matter how disjointed and incorrect and flawed it actually is.
Tell me some of these destructive behaviors Ms.Harvey. Because I’ve seen destructive behaviors in all walks of life not just of the homosexual variety. The times are changing, and you should too.
What an absolutely inane comparison. These whacko’s can’t see that just the opposit would be what is appropriate, not their ignorant missionary rules. Religious blinders are limiting her comprehension, or she is empathetically retarded! Hope that isn’t her happy face!
She obviously doesnt have a hairdresser, so she’s completely out of touch with homosexuals as a whole…what a nut job…wake up and throw away the polyester for crying out loud!
I’m sorry, but I LOL’ed at this, because clearly their “fight” against slavery was lost. Just throw in the towel and save yourselves the embarrassment and everyone else the pain.
Kthanks.
Keep fighting, Linda. You have made you and yours completely irrelevant in modern society.
I swear some people still live in the 1900s. Being African American is wrong, being gay is wrong. You know what is wrong? Wanting to treat someone like a slave. African Americans got their rights by standing up to discriminators. The LGBTQ society is gonna do the same and we are starting to gain rights because more and more people are realizing what is right.
Thats not true the woman needs counseling
I don’t remember ever having to CHOOSE to be straight. I just AM. If anyone in this world believes that people “choose” to be homosexual, and aren’t BORN that way, they need a serious reality check. If god made all of us, in HIS image, and we are all PERFECT in his eyes, why are we questioning him? Something to think about, Linda Harvey.
how does one person loving another person of the same sex rip people apart any different than a man and an woman loving each other?
Romeo & Joe would make an awesome romance story if you ask me btw.
Where do these loons come from, honestly?
Ummm…wrong side of the argument, Linda.
Linda Harvey, go visit a PFLAG meeting and find out how families with LGBT members are staying close and loving each other.
thank you tim i been saying for ages that the church is one of the biggest groups of slave masters ever.
this woman is a slave to the ideals of ancient, ignorant, misogynistic, superstitious cretins. and through scum like her, their primitive prejudices, from beyond the grave, hold power in our modern world. and im not happy about it
like they fought FOR slavery!!!
There was a split in my church over slavery a hundred or so years ago, the one’s who were for it left. The one’s who stayed are still fighting for equality to this day!
Exactly whose lives are being ‘ripped apart by homosexuality’, again?
bigotry is disgusting, good for nothing but the dung pile.
republicans represent the worst of our past, not a better future!
republicans have no LOVE, therefore they have no GOD!
Wow she is a small minded ignorant person.
I myself have heard sad tales from parents of heterosexual sons and daughters about the destructive behavior they exhibit in their lives. How can you blame bad parenting on your child’s sexual preference?
The only people whose lives are being torn apart are LGBT people who face the bigotry of judgmental people like you & the only families hurt by homosexuality are those who reject a child, sibling, or parent who is gay. Any heterosexuals out there who decided not to marry (or to get a divorce) because some neighbors were gay? Christ told us not to judge one another & to love ALL God’s Children U are not Christian.
Oh, wait – I think I figured it out. The people whose lives are being ‘ripped apart’ are the intolerant, bigoted people who for some crazy reason think they have the right to negatively judge their family members/coworkers/neighbors etc. who are LGBTQ?! Because minding their own business would be too … tiresome?
Wow.
Typical, blame it on the gays
MRS. Harvey needs everyones prayers and has mine. I find straight people to be rather amusing I once had a friend who was straight much like Linda and was also a little out of touch but we accept straight people in our church.-:}
GUYS shes just mad she cant take it like we can
that’s right Linda! Pedophiles, rapists, and murderers are an asset to society. You go get them nasty homosexuals!
god damn some people are just small minded and extraordinarily ignorant. screw her.
Lets just oppress gay people. Put them in concentration camps maybe. That worked well for Hitler. Growl! Sooo sick of stupid people. They are the ones ruining our nation’s children. Homophobia is not hereditary. It’s taught and learned.
People, people, people, people, if you’re gonna be like people like Mitt Romney, Linda Harvey, and Pope Benedict XVI, then kindly please Unlike this page and others like it immediately and never like any of them ever again. There is no room on pages like this for anybody’s negativity or preaching and praising of homophobia and forms of it. Homosexuality is nothing compared to slavery. Homosexuality and forms of it are something compared to racism and forms of it, like antisemitism: Prejudiceness, segregation, discrimination, crime, hatred, harassment, violence, torture, kidnap, murder, and unlawful profiling. It’s got to stop, and it’s going to stop, come Hell or high water.
This ridiculous individual is a godsend to the queer nation. Her cartoonishly retrograde positions make her a laughingstock. Voltaire once said “My prayer to God is a simple one: ‘Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.’ The Lord has granted my prayer.”
If you ask me she looks like a lesbian, anyway.
Bitter bitter and ignorant woman. Interesting she has a radio show that she is always on the hunt for an audience so she can maintain her income! What better way then to talk about the gay boogie man!
This woman needs a hobby..
Come out of the closet girlfriend and quite hidding behind the church like so many others have done. GOD LOVES US ALL
I have heard of too many stories of the destruction cause by hate speech over the radio. We must do the best we can to refrain from listening to bullshit, and keep our children safe from this menace.
What is she talking about? The bible condones slavery. God! This cunt is stupid!
Needs a life even.
This bitch has no clue about reality
Miserable BITCH!
Homosexuality is not ripping apart families it is small minded people who believe that only “straight” people are allowed to have a life. Why don’t you get a life and get your nose out of my bedroom. Just because I want to kiss my domestic partner in public and give her a hug doesn’t mean I am pushing my sexuality on others. Although people like you push your sexuality on everyone. God makes everyone in HIS image so why is it so hard for you to understand that some of us are LGBT’s.
Bitch lost her mind ?
@Pabio, why do LIKE pages like LGBTQ and the Advocate? Just of spout hate. And BTW idiot, Know some history before you speak. Hitler started with Gay people, they had to wear pink triangles. What is with you asshole? Why would anybody CHOOSE a lifestyle that is so hated. I had straight parents, 6 straight brothers and sisters…..I knew I as different as a boy. You are so full of shit it makes my brain hurt.
hateful bitch
She is a truly hatefilled person.
To ND Johnson: I hope you have a plan to rescue the children disowned by parents who hear Linda Harvey’s hate speech then!
To Mayer: Your comment has been marked as spam.
To Temeyosa: You need to include a [/sarcasm] tag for that one!
bitch
She would have been the Beatch that would have owned “SLAVES” anytime you hear a white person who is a Bigot talk about slavery they R. the mutha Fuckers who would have whooped my black ass 2 death…
Dear Linda stop being like Mitt Romney and stop using dark ages as your god damn tools to go against homosexuality!
Why fight against slavery though? THE BIBLE says that Slavery is A-OK! (The Bible: Where consensual homosexuality is a sin, but slavery is just fine, provided you pay a fair price for your slaves, and only get them from neighboring nations… If that’s the case, can I own a Canadian?)
She just really wants a big kiss from me.
I would love to sit down and have a talk with this woman. I am a proud mom of a gay woman. I’ll tell her a few things she need to know.
Homosexuality is about love… mutually between adult individuals, not affecting anyone who deserves to consider themselves their friends and family – since anyone who truly cares for their friends and family members will want them to be themselves, gay or not. Slavery is about discrimination and abusing power.
To compare homosexuality to slavery is just a downright pathetic and desperate attempt for her to make her irrational juvenile arguments sound remotely legit, which they obviously still don’t unless you’re a mentally insane person.
She’s just a horrible and heartless person – the sooner she realizes that, the better.
she is hypocritical trash that will have a hell of a lot to answer for one day!
That’s ironic considering the church is the oppressor, not the victim.
Normally I would agree that all people are invited to pflag meetings however someone like her I would not want to be a part of my meeting space. She is just cruel and nasty.

Here is another Article directly connected to her and her friends. Take a peek! I think this is the wrong thing for all lgbt!
Is she for real !!!
Still trying to figure out what part of my life has been or is being destroyed because I am gay. Lets see, is it my college degree, the fact that I own my own home, 2 cars, no debt (except mortgage), or that I came from a loving excepting home, could someone please help me with this?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jrngYNGNeE
that is sick david!
omg seriously this woman is crazy, its not like it is a disease that can be stopped from spreading my goodness be open minded and let people live their lives like they want
well said jeff there is nothing wrong with u, u happen to love being with men there is nothing wrong with that they r yummy, lol. u sound like a hard working, intelligent and level headed individual, right on.
She’s seriously messed up in the brain”
Closet case, dangerous mind.
My parents tried to teach me to be straight. They sent me to military school…ha ha I meet more boys there then anywhere! I have never tried to teach a straight guy to be gay! I grew up thinking Homosexuals were discussing old men. At 18 I found out something entirely different. I was happy for the first time.
Wow another person who we should ban!!
Pretty sure that at the time, some of the biggest proponents of slavery *were* the Bible-thumpers, though.
UGH……………… PLEEZE!
Well fuck you too!
This woman (and I use the term loosely) needs a good dose of reality just as much as she needs to stop living in the very distant past. Someone please tell this person that she really needs to pull her her head out of her ass and actually take a good look at the world around her. Not that it will make much difference.
she’s nmuts
Just as originally the church fought for Slavery… Oh the irony.
lol, what a dummy.
Another nail in the coffin for organised religion?
The corrupt churches and its ignorant bigoted leaders are ripping apart society with thier hate…
Linda Harvey deserves to have her mouth suctioned hard with a toilet plunger.
Yet another idiot li mashes herself know. What’s that saying…better to be suspected a fool and remain quiet, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt!!
Really? Whose family or life, I wonder, is being “ripped apart” as a result of homsexuality? If she’s talking about the homophobic families that ostracize their homosexual family members, then I can see………but otherwise, she’s making a broad generalization that she expects people will just accept without question. Poor woman.
oh for the love. the destruction homosexuality causes? The only destruction attributed with homosexuality is hateful nut jobs like her..who treat gay people like things instead of Humans.
Linda Harvey parrots the line used forever and a day without ever citing evidence for her claim that homosexuality is tearing people’s lives apart. She also completely ignores the fact that if her claim were true, there would be correctly performed clinical, sociology, law enforcement, and other studies showing her point to be true.
Yeah…she looks disturbingly malicious…I can feel her angry hate vibes from here. And it feels like pure evil. *shudders*
An endless supply of rope to hang herself with that one has been given…
No wonder people who commit such acts of oppression are proven to have lower IQs…
the thing is – children were already homosexual or whatever – they were just hiding it
she is just upset she was born looking like a busted drag queen
Nut job !
Wish I could say this was ignorant. Statements like this are purposely made to be inflammatory and draw attention. This woman knows there is not a word of truth to what she is saying. What a terrible, calculated, horrible human being. Sad.
Stupid cunt should be beaten with a golf club.
wtf is this shit
I feel sorry for these people. What is wrong that makes them hate us so much? They cant possibly believe God would condone such spiritual brutality on other human beings
She must have been dropped on her head!
she like most brought up on stereotypes, such people are afraid of what they do not know.
Wow…way to make alot of sense! Lets make a comparison that involves a group of ppl whos rights were restricted to combat the LGBT community….. Another groups whos rights are restricted
Poor Linda must be SO out of touch. Westboro Baptist has been fighting against homosexuality for decades!
How do we get her email address ? Anyone? Then we could bombard her with happy homo stories. I have one. Mine. Lol
That’s amusing, considering so many of the slave owners individually and the over-arching culture as a whole of that time often justified slavery through religion. Yeah, some abolitionists were devoutly religious and had religious grounds for their abolitionist ideals, but the vast majority of the slave owners and slave-owning areas of the U.S. were also devoutly religious. Interesting way to pick and choose their history.
Cunt
People like this make me appreciate the Christian left all the more…
Maybe these gay haters should focus on their own religion consider the Catholic Vatican bought apartments in the same block as the biggest known gay sauna in Italy!

Yes, because adults coming together in a loving, consensual relationship is *TERRIBLY* damaging society -_-
I wonder if she can hear how absolutely stupid she is…..
She is one of the people who supports families ostracizing their children of they are gay. People like her believe they are following a “traditional” family. My great grand father was a very prominent Methodist minister in Illinois and Indiana and he would never have condoned people turning out their gay relatives. He was of the mind that only God could judge people and that his and our job was to love and minister to those we loved and leave judgement to God.
Others from his eta would have horse whipped families who would turn their backs on their children and family for anything.
Family is supposed to be together not apart.
People like this woman are abominations and are too ignorant. May she be judged as she had judged others who disagree with her warped views.
This is very sad.
OMG that’s terrible and exciting to know the outcome!
Bitch must die
No. We must fight against the mentally ill Linda Harvey.
I stood firm in my conviction to not live a lie so others would feel comfortable with my life. I would not live a lie for anyone. I would stand up for who God made me to be regardless of how many preachers wished to damn me. Is this not an honorable conviction and how we wish children to live their lives? Or would we prefer the same old behavior of gays living lives of lies and shame just so others can feel comfortable and homogeneous and like they know everything about how life works? She’s a self hating lesbian who are thinks all LGBT people should be as broken and miserable as she. Simple. But not gonna happen, freaky lady.
